Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE news coverage of the Rugby World Cup as we build towards Saturday's final in Yokohama.
England have named an unchanged side to face South Africa, with Eddie Jones sticking with the George Ford/Owen Farrell axis after his captain shrugged off a knock along with Kyle Sinckler and Jonny May.
Scrum-half Ben Spencer replaces the injured Willi Heinz on the bench after only flying to Japan this week in the aftermath of the semi-final win over New Zealand.
The Springboks have made one change, with speedy winger Cheslin Kolbe returning to the right flank in place of Sbu Nkosi.
Stay tuned to Standard Sport the latest news ahead of Saturday's final...
